“Hooking a Lunker” from “Hooked by Flyfishing” by Graham M. Mott

“My heart raced as I was sure

I had hooked a huge trout

as I never felt a fish this strong.

It rapidly stripped the line off my reel.

There was no possibility

of stopping such a big fish.”

You may know that wonderful feeling when first viewing a valley that is so beautiful it almost takes your breath away.  That is how I felt when I first laid my eyes on the South Fork of the White River curving among beaver ponds and nestled in a lush valley with forests and tall rugged mountains on both sides.  It was a five-hour road trip from Denver to the river driving I-70 to the exit next to the Colorado River at Gypsum and a long winding steep climb along a narrow dirt road up the mountainside to a high plateau.  The rest of the trip included driving through aspen groves and meadows while crossing several small streams until finally dropping back down in the White River valley on a steep, rocky, and rutted road.  The latter part of the trip was slow going but was well worth it when you finally arrived.  In fact, one time while driving down this road toward the White River, I managed to high center my car and had to walk for several miles to summon help.

Besides camping near the river, there was only one other place to stay, Budges Lodge, built in 1931.  This resort is now called Budge’s Flattops Wilderness Lodge and consists of a dining hall and seven primitive log cabins in a serene setting close to the White River and adjacent to the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in the White River National Forest, and 40 miles from the nearest paved road.  Guest cabins are lighted by kerosene lamps and heated with wood stoves.  There is a sink and a toilet in each cabin with only a shower curtain around it for privacy and an outside cold communal shower. The resort offers daily meals and horseback rides or pack trips to fish back country lakes in the wilderness area.  It is a step above camping out, and the food is good, family-style fare.

Chair #9 (Olallie)

I It had taken the better part of a month to walk the three hundred or so miles between White Pass and Olallie Lake, where my next support package would be waiting. But when I finally showed up at the little bait and tackle shop—way up in the Cascades of central Oregon—I was told it hadn’t yet arrived. It would be another week before the next batch of mail was brought up, possibly longer.  I…

Even though this page is about my favorite type of fishing, from the surf, I started out like most other fishermen and women by fishing for Bluegill and Bass. Once I got old enough to tie on my own lure I was completely hooked on Bass fishing. My favorite lure to use being the classic spinner bait. As I got older I would try different techniques but I always stuck to lake fishing. It wasn’t until about 8 years ago that I discovered surf fishing. My father-in-law was an avid fisherman and hunter and he was the first person to introduce me to surf fishing. He was a very big influence on that part of my life and he taught me so much about fishing and just about how to be happy in life. We miss him every day. However, this post isn’t meant to be a sad one, because every time I pick up a fishing rod I remember the great times we spent fishing and all of the things that I learned. Surf fishing let’s me reflect on life with the sound of the waves crashing along the beach. It is my favorite therapy and without it I would go insane!

In the absence of any chance of fishing for the near (or far) future, I’ve been going through some old fishing diaries. Trying to decipher my terrible scrawl has been tricky. Maybe my teachers were correct all along when they said that my work “could have been neater.”) This piece won me second prize (a copy of The History Of Carp Fishing.) The subject was Childhood fishing memories. The winning entry must have been amazing! Apologies for any grammatical errors- but I’ve resisted the urge to type it up again #fishing #fishingstories #mustwritemore (at Foxed Finds) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-M0eupFT45/?igshid=190g6ll3vl2tn

It is titled: “Monarch of the Glen: A True Adventure Story of a Big Game Hunt in Wyoming – 1900.”

(available as a paperback & eBook)

Third, I published a book of true short stories by my grandfather, Russell Mott, who was also a big game hunter and hunted mountain sheep & goats, moose, caribou, grizzly bear, and sharks in the early 1900s.

It is titled: “Big Game Hunting Tales from the early 1900s.”

(available as a paperback or eBook).

Photographer Angus James was fortunate enough to capture this shot. He said: “As I was pulling my lure from the fish to release back into the water I noticed two little eyes looking back at me from inside the fish’s mouth. After capturing this picture, the little green tree frog leaped straight past my head onto the nearest tree. It was one of the coolest things I have seen in my life! This is one lucky frog!” #lucky #luckycharms #frogpose #frogs #fishing🐟 #naturephotography #fishingstories #photooftheday #photographer #freedomday (at Lower Haight, San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/B97DLjFhb3y2gdNS-l3OwNkD1UH1hv7TX4g6ec0/?igshid=1lps1n9pjk1u2

A giant kingfisher with a giant catch! A great shot by Cara and Van @readysetsafari. Not all kingfisher species regularly hunt fish, despite the name. The ‘halcyon’ kingfishers are often found away from water and hunt reptiles and bugs. The ‘fishing’ kingfishers, like this giant kingfisher, will typically perch over water looking for prey before swooping to grab the target with its bill. If successful, it will return to the perch, and start smashing the fish against the rock or branch to break the bones and swallow the fish whole! I hope this guy didn’t get indigestion after this bumper meal...! More Kruger stories and photos available on the blog as ever - link above in profile! . We are building the KrugerExplorer App! It will be a beautiful wildlife field guide with detailed profiles and photos on 300+ animals plus a routes guide with more than 70 of our favourite routes detailed with explanations on the landscape and what wildlife you might be able to see! It has been a huge undertaking but we’re nearing the finish line and hope to launch in June 2019. There is loads more info on our website (see above bio link) - please check it out! 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 . @krugerexplorer #krugerexplorer #krugernationalpark #safari #africanwildlife #thisissouthafrica #wildlifelovers #fantasticbeasts #amazinganimals #giantkingfisher #kingfisher #kingfishers #bird #birds #bird_lovers #birdwatching #birdsofsouthafrica #birding_lounge #fishing #fishingstories (at Kruger National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxM-x6CgJZj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vnc1tyw3zjlp
